So the starboard engine overheated after an hour [impeller and strainer]. while troubleshooting, i found water in the saildrive oil in not one but BOTH saildrives. this will call for an urgent haulout and seal replacement before getting back underway! #boatlife #sliceoflife #SailingtheGalaxSea #boatmaintenance

(Anchored in Pantego creek, NC) I created a new HD bridle out of our Morgan's bridle! The boat's prior owners put on an awesome new HT chain but it's 3/8" (10mm) and the windlass gypsy is only 5/16" causing the chain to jump & pop, it's going to hit and crack gelcoat at some point! time to order a correctly sized Gypsy!#SailingtheGalaxSea #boatlife #anchor #sliceoflife

Heading in. I will replace the impeller, clean the heat exchanger, upgrade the raw water strainer, and cycle the saildrive oil again while we wait for seal kits to arrive and to be hauled out for half a day while the seals get replaced. #boatlife #sliceoflife #boatmaintenance #SailingtheGalaxSea
